So I'm a brand new inductee into the SCP Universe and this website is porn for me (if you'll excuse the term). I'm currently reading through the first series (I *will* complete all three because I'm insatiable) and I cannot help but constantly ask myself:

WHY IS THIS NOT A TV SHOW ON NETFLIX?!

You're all creative geniuses and I'm well aware that this is all a collaborative effort but the base cannon alone is the perfect pitch for a LONG running show. We can already see an interest in shows like this with Stranger Things, Black Mirror, and the various other horror anthologies becoming popular on Netflix. I can see the Foundation show being very episodic but with a very real, very large underlying universe.

Hell, SCP-2000 is the perfect series finale! The first season of the show ends with an XK event leading to the activation of SCP-2000 and hinting that Season 2 is going to be the world POST that event but NOBODY BUT THE VIEWER KNOWS ABOUT IT! I'm geeking out over this just sitting at my desk writing this post.

So I ask again, why hasn't this been pitched yet? Or has it? I am very new and I will admit to only lurking the forums briefly before posting this topic but if it has been attempted, why did it fail? I'm currently writing a screenplay which is centered around an object that I feel could be added to the SCP archives and reading all of your works is inspiring me to begin the project myself if it hasn't already begun.

Please shed some light on this topic for me. Maybe I'm just awestruck still but I honestly, for the life of me, cannot understand why anybody would NOT want to watch something like this.

They wouldnt get much money, (if any at all), and no one here currently has the power to even do that to my knowledge.
But there have been a few live-action SCP mini films people have made, as well as the midnight radio show.

If my understanding of the CC is correct, they would get money. They just can't exercise creative control over the end product, and a rival network could easily film their own version of SCP without having to worry about liscencing or legal issues. In other words, if Mickey Mouse was a SCP, Disney can use it, but so could Warner Brothers, Universal Studios, and every freelance web animator out there and Disney has no real legal grounds to sue them for it.

This site reminds me a lot of Warehouse 13. It was on the Syfy channel for a while and it was a warehouse full of stuff the government had been collecting because of what they could do but each object was linked to a famous historical figure. I forget the people they were related to but there was stuff like a walking stick that cause earthquakes, a horse hair brush that just like in "Its a Wonderful Life" swept you out of history like you had never been born, a telegraph machine that made anyone who touched it a Paranoid Schizophrenic, the original copy of "La mamba" that could kill you if it was played loud enough, a stone viking ladle that gave people super strength but OD on it and you burst into flames and a pair of super hero briefs that allowed you to increase your mass to increase your strength but worn too long and the person became massive enough to become a black hole.
